Hottest Sping Color for 2013

Thanks to the Wedding Insider we know mint will be the color of choice for brides in 2013. The color mint was huge on the runway at the spring fashion shows this year. You’ll see this soothing, soft color on everything from bridesmaid dresses, save the dates, wedding invitations, flowers and wedding decor. To make the theme more than just the color, mint will also make its way into signature wedding cocktails (mojitos and mint juleps), cakes and cupcakes, centerpieces, and wedding favors.


The vintage trend has brought mint green back to the forefront as it was the color of choice for many home and personal items (such as telephones, typewriters, appliances, bathroom sinks and tile) in the 1940s and 1950s.
